I also saw Bug recently, directed by William Freidkin in 2006, he of The Exorcist fame (and also The French Connection).

WU TANG EVIL SHOGUN MOVIE

Those two alone are enough to make this movie cool.Īnyway, before I start talking about something else, I will once again emphasize: they don’t make movies better than this.

Some of the coolest names ever are used in this movie: Lone Wolf.

Ofcourse, that’s Tarantino’s thing: he’s a movie buff who pays homage to almost every obscure movie ever. I have never seen this before….its like they said, Screw it, it makes this movie even more bad ass if we leave the fake blood drops on the camera. The blood effects you see in the Kill Bill movies were taken directly from Shogun Assassin (blood shooting from headless necks, ect…At one point, fake blood actually splatters onto the camera lens.

Watching Shogun Assassin, I could picture myself being a young Quentin Tarantino, sitting in a video rental store and totally getting a hard on from all the violence.

I’ve always felt GZA was the darkhorse member of Wu-Tang, and this album is him at his best. On another note, Liquid Swords is one of the best damn hip hop albums ever.

For instance, when you first play GZA’s album, a child’s voice starts, “When I was little, my father was famous……he was the greatest samurai in the empire.” That is likewise the first line to the movie. GZA sampled lines from the first ten minutes or so of the movie, and made them intros to his songs. If any of my readers own GZA’s Liquid Swords album, then you would recognize the samples taken from the movie.Mom, you would absolutely hate this movie.Trust me when I say….they do not make movies better than this. Lone Wolf travels across the countryside, battling ninjas on the way, all the while educating his son and seeking revenge on the Shogun. This movie is along the same lines of Sergio Leone’s Westerns from the 60s: in other words, its f**king bad ass. Set in a nameless empire, lead by an evil shogun, the main character, Lone Wolf, must avenge the murder of his wife, all the while travelling with his two year old son, who has a target on his head. If the sentence I just wrote doesn’t make you want to immediatley go out and watch Shogun Asssassin, I don’t know what will. The above quote was spoken by one of the three Masters of Death, after his encounter with Lone Wolf in the desert. But to have it happen to my own neck, is ridiculous.” I always hoped to cut someone like that to hear that sound. When cut across the neck, a sound like wailing winter winds is heard, they say.
